What's In My Handbag?

Thursday, January 7, 2016

Myself, like many other mom's out there with toddlers, I sure have an interesting group of items stashed in your handbags. I'm not talking the diaper bag you carry along with your handbag, but just your handbag. I don't know about yours but my bag is full of...well, random stuff.

Here's a peek into my bag currently:

This, would be the "clean" version. I had to throw away a lot of receipt papers, gum wrappers, crushed up goldfish crackers. But nonetheless, this is what my bag looks like a most of the time. I am constantly taking things out and putting things in, but these are my staple items. Also, to make things a little more OCD, I keep my lip glosses, chapstick, hand sanitizers and pens in plastic ziplock baggies. Yes, thats right, I said it. Call me weird, but I'm afraid something will spill or leak and cause a mess or stain. (I started this when I first bought my Chanel handbag 8 years ago and wanted to keep the interior like new).

My current bag is from my sister's boutique she works at for Christmas. Might I say, this bag is ginormous! Perfect for my everyday outings.

Black leather with gold zip around wallet (Target - $14.99)

Small baggie of cinnamon Teddy Grahams for my little when we are on the go

2015-2016 day planner. I try very hard to use this as I find writing down my agenda helps me. I can see I will be using this more as I figure out this new job of mine. (Fred Meyer/Kroger)

Boogie Wipes! Love these things! When my little has a stuffy/runny nose, these are so gentle on her baby skin. I prefer the purple kind as they smell like grapes, but hey, I'll take what I can get in times of need.

There you have it. A look into my bag currently. My phone and car keys usually live inside my coat pocket since that is easy access to grab those and I don't have to spend time digging around.

Oh, the bag? It's a Street Level Reversible Tote. There are many different kind of colors. My sister knows me all too well and knows that I'm a very monotone color person. Plus, gray goes well with everything. It's like the sister color of black and white, right?!

You are so much more prepared to have little kids with you than I am! I NEVER have diapers or wipes with me.. I don't know why... and I always need them and never put them in my purse. I am terribly unprepared to have kids with me. :-)
